Three tunes with “Rave” in the title in this month’s techno chart is merely coincidental but it says a lot about where techno is headed. The melodic variety is branching out to a more progressive vibe, the hard stuff is getting harder, and more importantly, the rest of it is capturing the essence of the early ’90s UK techno explosion. Exhibit A: Ango Tamarin’s mammoth debut on Trick which gets the honor of November’s top spot.

Marco Faraone’s debut on Insomniac’s Factory 93 Records is a massive one to sat the least. The a-side is a masterful exercise in tempo and the b-side, “Mirror Games” featured right here is simply awesome. The arpeggiated melodies ebb and flow at an unbelievably rhythmic pace.   

8. “MODULE H” – HYBRASIL [HYBRASIL]

“Module H” and its b-side counterpart are the latest excellent additions to Hybrasil’s stacked, self-released discography.

Rising melodic techno talent, Innellea was given the honor of remixing a new RÜFÜS DU SOL tune from their recently released LP and whatever the process involved was it certainly was the right choice. Innellea’s modern edge brings the already dance-floor focused band even closer to the rave with some gritty synth work complemented by a vocal crescendo for the ages. 

15. “YOU KNOW WHAT’S GONE” – BARNT [KOMPAKT]

Ahead of his upcoming full-length debut on Kompakt, Cologne-based producer, Barnt teases us with three of the tunes from that L.P. including this pensive one right here which trudges along loudly with a marching rhythm to match to match the solemn vibe.
